I ordered my Sport S late January and because of the virus I didn’t receive it until Monday, April 27th. My whole area on Long Island, NY has been like a war zone... major hot spot so I decided to name it Elpis, Greek goddess of hope. I had all the parts ordered and sitting in my garage just waiting. First three days and this is where I’m at.

I did the Mopar lift, Synergy brace, JKS track bar & Fox Stabilizer. Got the alignment done on a brand new Hunter machine and it drives like a dream. So happy with it.

Weekend project in between putting some miles on the JT. Making a coffee table out of the Mopar crate.

Sharp rig. I'm helping my granddaughter's husband look into buying a Sport S just like yours. I'll show him your thread. Great choices so far.

2020 Gladiator Sport Max Tow
did you add an additional spacer on the front?
reason i ask is that the stance doesn't look like it has too much rake. do you know what the difference in height is between the front and rear pinch seam.

i have a sport with tow package and the difference is 2 inches.

i just ordered the Mopar 2" as well and wondering whether or not to add a .75 inch spacer as i have been reading that most do.

Removed the stock silver bumper inserts and replaced them with black.
